Sept 21: What Can You Do for Peace?

The Summit chapter of Pax Christi, as well as other local peace organizations and representatives from various faith traditions, are planning an observance of the International Day of peace on the Village Green on Friday September 21. Our theme this year is “What can you do for peace?”

We are planning the following as a part of our observance:

*Set up a display of banners on the Village Green with “May Peace Prevail on Earth” each translated into a different language

*Collect signatures outside the post office on the Declaration of Peace (11:00 am - 4:00 pm)

*Leafletting - Handout a flyer with the cost of the war in terms of lost opportunities for housing, education, healthcare, etc. (11:00 am - 5:00 pm)

*Have a list of 10 things the UN does for peace ask people to make suggestions to send to our legislators on what we should be doing

*Gather in the evening on the green at 6:30 for a prayer service and march through town with the peace banners leading.

To volunteer to help please contact: Kathy O’Leary kathy-wargo@comcast.net or Bev Hausker bevhausker@att.net
